Lemon Tree is a song by Fool's Garden. The song is good
to learn and practice the present continuous.

The structure of the present continuous looks like this:

Subject + BE + Verb (ING)

Examples:

I am working.
He is talking on the phone.
They are sleeping.

The present continuous is used to show actions that are
happening right now. When you listen to the Lemon
Tree, the present continuous sentences the singer is
using mean "right now".

Here is the music video for the song, and below there is a
listening exercise.

I'm here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around, I'm for you
But nothing ever happens, and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But ever happens, and I wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my
I feel so tired, put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

I'm around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen, and you wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder, wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see
And all that I can see
And all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon-tree
